Can someone please tell me the benefit of creating a CR2 for a prop?

If the prop has exactly one part, there's no benefit. But if the prop has subparts parented to the main item, there are at least two big advantages: 1. With CR2, you can scale the whole thing at once. Scaling just doesn't work right with a PP2. (There are ways around this, but they're harder than making a CR2.) 2. You can delete the whole thing at once.

A big advantage is that materials on a figure can be changed with a MAT pose file, but materials on a prop can't. If you want to release a prop that comes with many different textures or that is articulated (moving parts), it is much better to convert it to a figure.

And, functionally, the same effect as a parented prop can be gotten with a conformed character. A nifty trick you can do here is to use a phantom body part as the conforming part, leaving the "prop" part free to swivel about.

Actually you can use a MAT on a prop. See link above.
